Annotation Processing in Gradle

[Richard Bair]

I don't know, for example, I have .java files, .css files, .png and other files, .properties files (that are not build related), and then this property file which actually is build related. It seems like storing the .css files / .png files etc along with the source files in one tree is cleaner (that is, from the IDE I only have one tree expanded instead of two). I'm wondering if it is just a preferences thing or is there a compelling argument one way or the other?
